Op-Ed Toolkit📝

Journalism plays a vital role in framing and informing discourse; however, most journalists are not trained in the latest addiction science or how that science is implemented through programs on the ground in our communities. These blind spots result in coverage that inadvertently conflicts with or leaves out clinical, research and public health priorities and is related to the treatment gaps in our communities.

Writing opinion pieces, or op-eds, helps you explain this critical scientific and medical research to your communities in a place that they seek out and still trust for information that impacts their lives and at a level that they can understand.
